Trans women are being banned from Tinder — going against anti-discrimination values

Tinder might be filled with creeps and dick pics, but the app has truly made strides in regards to inclusivity. The app released a statement last year that promised the app would never delete anyone because of their gender, which is really awesome — if that was actually the case.

The app is now being accused of deleting multiple trans women from the platform for a ridiculous reason.

The latest woman to get deleted off the app is Tahlia Rene, who got kicked off the app because she violated Tinder's terms.

So @Tinder got back to me and the best they can say is I broke their community guidelines “in some way” but we all know this is because of men mass reporting me for being trans. I would appreciate as many people as possible quote tweeting this and mentioning them pic.twitter.com/AEhc5jrSPp

The same thing happened to Kat Blaque, who went back and forth with Tinder on Twitter over her wrongful profile deletion.

See this is my issue. You want the front facing image of inclusion and acceptance and yet on the back end, you don't really serve the community you claim to serve. I can only conclude that my account was targeted and deleted because I was trans. And I'm not the first one.

However, its apology is totally moot, seeing as the same thing happened to Tahlia Rene just days later.

Tinder bans profiles for getting mass reported by users, so the fact that its listening to whining male users who don't grasp the concept of trans inclusivity over its engaged trans users is truly insulting.

Do better, Tinder. Dump the cartoons and make strides to protect your users instead.
